| Lost and Found: |
Found a blue water bottle at the loop intersection. Email me if it's yours. Also saw some bungies hanging from a low branch on Hancock Notch Trail. I meant to take them home and post a "found" notice, but I forgot about them on the way out. They're probably still hanging there. |

Well-packed trails. Brought the snowshoes, but never needed them. Microspikes were fine.
Bright, sunny day. Gorgeous views from the outlooks. Expected to see many folks on the trail, but only crossed paths with two gentlemen from New York. Felix and...I'm sorry, I forgot the other fellow's name, but he's done the winter Catskills (in one season), the winter ADKs (in one season), and now he's working on the single-season winter NH48. Nice fellas, I enjoyed chatting with them.
My leg feels GREAT. It's nice to be able to hike again!
I've posted a trip report with photos on my blog. |
